Dear JREF Forumites,

This internet is so confusing, but I'm starting to get the hang of it! I have posted in two other threads. This is my first attempt at creating my own thread and I apologize in advance if it is done incorrectly.

As some of you may already know, I am Sylvia Browne's spirit guide. I have joined the JREF forum because I am sick and tired of Sylvia misquoting me all the time and frankly, outright LYING about me. Some people believe her because she says I have "new information" that I have found out through research on The Other Side. I don't blame those people for believing her, she is quite convincing at times.

My naiveté in regards to internet searches really came out at first when I was trying to find you and locate the forum. I did a search for ********, ******, and evil ***** bastards because that's how I always heard Sylvia describe you. You don't even want to know some of the sites that Google suggested for me! But then I remembered the names James Randi and Robert Lancaster and put two and two together, found the forum, and the rest is history.

By the way, can any of you suggest how I "Favorite" a website? I may want to show my pal Raheim some of the sites I found. ;) He's into that sort of thing, but that's for another thread.

The reason I started this post was because I was unable to find any information here regarding Sylvia's book Accepting the Psychic Torch.

I was wondering if any of you were aware of this:

There is a section in this book where Sylvia sent in (to her publisher) copies of handwritten letters from her grandmother, Ada Coil to be included in the back of the book. Have any of you seen them?

If you pay attention, it is easy to see that it is Sylvia's own handwriting! That is, if you have ever seen her handwriting. I happen to know it is because I watch her write all the time, just like I watched her write those bogus letters from Mrs. Coil.

Yes, she is that arrogant and egotistical that she thinks no one would ever call her on this! She just doesn't care. You would think she would at least have a staff member write them, but no. It's her handwriting. If you don't believe me, demand to take a look at the originals and have them looked at by a forensic document expert. I'm sure you wouldn't mind chipping in for an ink and handwriting analysis, correct?

The computer lab has just reopened here on The Other Side (thanks to Raheim getting us all suspended from computer privileges for a long time) and I have to figure out how to work a scanner. If I ever can, I will attempt to scan the book for you and somehow post them compared to her own handwriting. Can you post pictures and attachments? This may also be an opportunity for an article on Robert Lancaster's site.

Please give me plenty of time, however. I am a busy guide and have quite a large Medium to deal with here. Get it?! :cool:

Until my next post.

Francine

Francine,

I doubt many on this side (and on this forum) have read Sylvia's latest book. I always thought that her books were "ghost written". If you have proof that Sylvia is faking letters then please bring that to Oprah. I have lost a lot of respect for the Big O, but think Sylvia would be shredded if Oprah wanted to call her out for faking her books. Now that is something I would stay home to view!

Welcome Francine
 
Francine
:D:DLove your post!! Are there any advantages in being a spirit guide?! Especially for Sylvia Brown....!
 
Hello, Francine!

The way she describes the JREF, that's just hilarious. You do have a way with words, BTW. :) And I can just hear her saying all that. I've been told there has been lots of such talk about Robert Lancaster around the office these past few years.

So, she wrote those letters herself?? I'll have to go look and see if I have any handwriting samples around here.

If you could figure out a way to scan the handwriting samples, that would really be interesting.

You are so right, she just doesn't care. It's amazing to me how much she doesn't care. Like I said recently, she never even bothered NOT to publically tell lies that her own ministers would know were lies. And that's not even the half of it, and I bet you, as her spirit guide, have all sorts of more stories you could tell.

Cheers!

You have made my morning with these great posts.

Is this supposed to be a parody post or something?
I'm not getting the humor if there is any.
Other than how funny it is that Sylvia Browne claims to have a spirit guide named Francine.
That is funny!
 
No this is a serious thread. Francine appears to have a good first hand knowledge of Sylvia. She claims to be her spirit guide. You must accept that on blind faith. However other information can be verified by other people that know Sylvia.
 
Francine. You claim to be a ghost?

That's an extraordinary claim!

Can you provide your extraordinary evidence to support it?? :)

Sure. My name is mentioned in almost all of Sylvia's books.

Everyone knows that when something is published, it's true, right? ;)
 
Well, I just obtained a copy of Accepting the Psychic Torch. I have yet to read any of it, but the first thing that strikes me is this: Browne has long been criticized (by even her fans) for putting out books which are largely rehashing stories from her previous books. But with this book, Browne and her publishers have gone to extremes in this regard. In fact, this time, they are quite up-front about it. Right on the cover of the book, it states:


INCLUDES:

The full text of Sylvia's bestsellers
ADVENTURES OF A PSYCHIC

AND

IF YOU COULD SEE WHAT I SEE


AND

an all-new volume
ACCEPTING THE PSYCHIC TORCH​
Click to expand...

So this time, instead of merely rehashing stories from old books, she has inserted two of her old books, verbatim!

Interesting.
 
Don't you find it interesting that the letters from Ada Coil were never mentioned in all these years until now? Ada Coil has always been praised as being Sylvia's savior in life.

EVEN IF Sylvia was saving the letters from Ada for a future book, why wouldn't she at least talk about them? According to Sylvia (although I have yet to see any evidence), Ada was a renowned psychic. Now the only thing we have by Ada Coil are copies of letters that suspiciously look identical to Sylvia's handwriting....years and years after Sylvia's book Adventures of a Psychic came out extoling the virtues of Ada.

Ada may have been a wonderful grandmother, but Sylvia is probably making the whole thing up about her being a psychic. Sylvia writes whatever Sylvia wants in her books. Remember, Sylvia never has anything nice to say about her mother yet she insists that she comes from a long line of psychics. Well, Ada Coil is her mother's mother. If everyone else on that side of the family was psychic, why would Sylvia's mother conveniently be the only one who is evil? Probably because Sylvia was a daddy's girl and had other issues with her mother. Now she can get back by insulting her in lectures and books. No, this doesn't make a difference to Sylvia's mother, but in Sylvia's sick mind, it does.

She just doesn't think people will call her out on her contradictions.
 
It seems to me that the reason Sylvia keeps repeating the same things over and over in her books is she needs the money from the book sells. And since her hard core fans are going to buy what ever dribble she produces even if it is the same thing over and over again she has created herself a nice cash cow.
 
If Francine turns out to be a sock, I vote that she's cut a break this time.
 
Francine is not a sock. She is real. Please accept that. She will turn into a valuable asset of this forum. You lot may not understand her sense of humour, but please humour her. It will pay dividends a thousand fold and I am not a Sylvia Browne fan!

Pay no money now. Pay no money later. When she is ready Francine will make everyone's jaw drop to the ground. Just give her time and humour her by being civil to her. That is all I ask.

By saying I don't get it is being uncivil?
I was asking a question.

I figured with someone using the name Francine and posting about Sylvia Browne it would be either a die hard worshiper or a just for laughs gag.

Since it was neither one I am a little confused and asked a question.

I have learned my lesson about being able to freely post about Sylvia Browne on this forum.

So now I ask another question.
Is the only thing "permitted" to post about Sylvia Browne just agreements of what ever Robert Lancaster post?

Please Mr. Lancaster don't call down the thunder on me again.
I'm just trying to understand the boundaries of what is "permitted" here.

I wasn't being rude or uncivil I was just asking for some clarification.

Hi Brattus! I think rjh01's comments were mostly directed to dropzone, who asked about the sock, and not to you.

You're reaction is pretty reasonable, by the way, and I don't think anyone would criticize it. I think a lot of people here have been kind of mystified, judging by the comments.

(Not to stray from the friendly banter on this thread - and others here recently - about spirit guides, but in terms of clarification: my take is that Francine is genuinely someone who is close to Sylvia Browne and probably has some interesting things to share with us, if she decides to stay. I say this because I know quite a bit myself and I think I would have been able to tell by now if that weren't the case. It is my hope that she continues to post here because what she has to say is quite valuable and insightful to me. It's also been done humorously, and a sense of humor is always welcome in my book. Of course, only time will tell. How is it a bad thing to be skeptical on a skeptics' forum? It's not! In this case, though, it will especially interesting to hear what this particular person has to say, should they choose to keep posting. But of course everyone is free to be skeptical of what I say too and I won't even be offended!)
